(Fiske provides an elaborate justification for his reconstruction of the
very early Eliot family across the multiple issues listed above.)
v161 p253: "He married Eleanor _____, who was buried 18 November 1540 at St. Mary le Bow,
London, as "Elenor Eliott ye wyff of George." The discovery of the baptism of Georges son
Magnus in this same London parish, along with the record of the marriage of Georges daughter
Katherine to John Sparke, both of whom are named in Georges will (see below), leaves little
doubt that this was the same George Eliot who was buried at Bishops Stortford."
